InLine Patch cable, S/FTP (PiMf), Cat.8.1, 2000MHz, halogen-free, yellow, 3m

The InLine Patch Cable S/FTP (PiMf) Cat.8.1 2000MHz Yellow 3m is a high-performance Ethernet patch cable designed for demanding network environments. Constructed with S/FTP (shielded foil over individually shielded pairs) and a PiMf conductor arrangement, this Cat.8.1 cable supports transmission frequencies up to 2000 MHz and is halogen-free. Both ends are fitted with RJ-45 connectors and the 3 m length provides flexible reach for racks, patch panels and desk connections while the yellow jacket improves visibility in cabling runs.

Advantages

Shielding on each twisted pair plus an overall foil shield reduces crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, helping to maintain signal integrity at very high data rates. The PiMf conductor layout and Cat.8.1 specification enable reliable performance for multi-gigabit and low-latency applications. The halogen-free jacket minimizes toxic gas emissions in case of fire and the bright yellow outer sheath simplifies identification and cable management in dense installations.

Suitable for

• High-speed data centers and server racks
• Network aggregation points and switch-to-switch connections
• Multi-gigabit desktop and workstation connections
• Environments requiring clear cable identification and organized cabling

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.8.1
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded pairs)
• Conductor arrangement: PiMf (pairs in metal foil)
• Maximum frequency: 2000 MHz
• Length: 3 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 — both ends

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on your networking devices, such as switches, patch panels, routers or network interface cards. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, excessive tension and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. For fixed installations, secure the cable with appropriate cable management accessories to maintain bend radius and prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this Cat.8.1 S/FTP patch cable in short-run, high-bandwidth links within racks or between adjacent networking equipment. Avoid running the cable alongside high-voltage power lines and maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radius. Periodically inspect connectors and cable jackets for wear, and replace cables that show physical damage to preserve signal quality.
